There was a sequence in Syracuse's 81-46 win over Ryerson the second half where Trevor Cooney missed a 3-point shot and Tyler Ennis grabbed the rebound and kicked it back out to Cooney in the same spot.

This time, Cooney drilled it.

Asked by a reporter if he would have made that shot last year, Cooney smiled and said "of course."

It's nice that Cooney has that confidence, but as Jim Boeheim discussed after the game, it was the fact that confidence didn't match the results that held Cooney back a season ago.

"He didn't not play (last season) because of his defense," Boeheim said. "He didn't play because he wasn't making shots for the most part."

In the above video, Cooney discusses the confidence level in his shot right now and how point guard Tyler Ennis is adjusting to learning the zone defense.
